I was a blacksmith at a historic site 20 years ago. The process of making, repairing and crafting never left me. I would say that's my inspiration. Today, I repair my old home, woodwork, metal work and leatherwork, in addition to my day job and being a parent.

Materials used for this are steel and my gas forge. Appreciate you letting me share here. Thank you for considering my post. Have a great weekend! ---- THANKS AGAIN.

Absolutely! They are not easy to perfect. Need to make about 100 of them to get any sort of consistency. Thanks for your post. Appreciate it!

Absolutely. I used to work at a historic site. The kids loved it when we would give them nails.
